Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A Film with Me in It is a 2008 Irish Black Comedy/Thriller starring Dylan Moran (of Black Books fame) and Mark Doherty, who also wrote the script.Mark (Doherty) is a going-nowhere actor and clarinet player who lives in a crumbling flat with his increasingly disgruntled and frustrated girlfriend Sally (Amy Huberman) and his wheelchair-bound and vegetative brother David (David O'Doherty), and spends most of his time hanging out with his best friend Pierce (Moran), a struggling screenwriter and director who is planning a project which is intended to kickstart their respective careers. His flat is slowly falling to bits because his landlord, Jack (Keith Allen), refuses to do repairs until he gets the rent owed from the perpetually short-of-cash Mark.This is significant.One day, a wobbling chandelier finally gives up the struggle against gravity, which kickstarts a chain reaction of accidents that result in an increasing number of dead bodies piling up in the flat before Mark's disbelieving eyes. Panicking, he summons Pierce for help, who hits upon the idea of treating it as if it were a pitch for a film, to enable the two to figure out how to get out of the mess in which they've become embroiled.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Chekhov's Gun: Very frequent: The loose shelf collapses and bludgeons Jersey the dog, killing him instantly. The loose chandelier falls on David, crushing him to death. The wobbly stool near the flickering light causes Jack, attempting to fix said light, to topple and land on his screwdriver, impaling himself in the neck. Additionally, the opening credits have Jack visibly using his screwdriver before placing it in his breast pocket with the point upwards, alluding to how he kills himself.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })

Actor Allusion

Actor Allusion: Dylan Moran plays a rather eccentric struggling alcoholic with pretensions of being a writer — the persona he also uses in most of his comedy, and not a million miles from a certain bookshop owner he became famous for playing.

The Cast Show Off: In-story; Mark insists on making the hero of Pierce's script a clarinet player so that only he [Mark] can play the role.

The Alcoholic: Pierce is very reluctantly admitting he's one of these.
